• EchoStar received special temporary authority (STA) to conduct TT&C operations with EchoStar 5 during its drift from 129 degrees WL to 148 degrees WL. The frequency 17301.0 MHz will be used for telecommand and the band 12201-12202 MHz for telemetry. The STA is valid for 60 days commencing March 16, 2009.

• The FCC granted a request from Intelsat for STA to continued operating Intelsat 702 at 54.85 degrees EL for a period of 14 days commencing on April 7, 2009. Intelsat's request for STA to drift Intelsat 706 from 50.25 degrees EL to 54.85 degrees EL was dismissed as moot in light of the grant mentioned earlier allowing it to relocate the satellite to 54.85 degrees EL.
